Does VA Smalltalk 8.6.1 support Oracle 12 client

Hi Jan,

We have not tested with Oracle 12 yet, but have also not heard any reports of any issues .  Are you running a 64 bit Windows server with the 32bit Oracle implementation installed?  

Thanks,

Bob Brodd

Hello,

I'm trying to run our VASt application on a Windows server with a (32 bits) Oracle 12.1.0 client installation. 

But our application crashes when it tries to login to Oracle. This happens during the OCILogin call in the method:

AbtOracle8DatabaseConnection>>#connectUsing: aDataSourceName id: aUserId pw: aPassword ifError: errorBlock

Does VA Smalltalk 8.6.1 support Oracle 12 client?

Kind regards,

Jan,

I finally managed to get the 32 bit Oracle Instantclient 12c to work on a Windows Server 2012 (x64) with VA Smalltalk 8.6.1/8.6.2 .  Apparently, the client code requires the Microsoft C++ Redistributable Package 2010 dll's , but only the 64bit versions are available.  Try installing the 32 bit version of the redistributable package from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26999.  My initial errors were different from yours ( could not perform the ociinitialize call due to not being able to load the oci.dll) , but maybe this will also solve your issue as ociinitialize, ocilogon, etc.  calls are working for me now.

Let me know if this helps.

I do not have a 64-bit Windows server installed at the moment, but I did try using  Oracle Instantclient 12c on  Win7 32-bit  with 8.6.1 without any issues.  I will try it out on a 64-bit system and see if I get good result there too.
